Any idea if they are or aren't same for left and right? Thank you Dorothy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unknown_eyes Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 I doubled checked the size and fitment on Autozone.com and Rockauto.com and they both show a 22in blade, same for driver and pasenger side for your 2006 DTS. The wiper blades that came on it from the factory may be a little different than the aftermarket wiper blades offered at Autozone. But I doubt you will notice any difference between the two. Autozone has replacements from $7-$30 each blade. I personally use the Bosch wiper blades, around $10 each, just my preference. I honestly could not justify spending more at the dealer for a wiper blade when you can get a good quality replacement at a local parts store. 2001 Deville, Sterling Silver exterior with Dark Gray leather, 93k miles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEldo97 Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 And they'll install them free for you at the store. I would suggest giving the fellow who does the installation a tip - $5.00 or $10.00 works... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 You can always measure them and see if they are the same or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cadillac Jim Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 Your car is probably still in warranty. If so, the wipers should be covered, other than the blades and arms. Have you asked about that at a dealer? -- Click Here for CaddyInfo page on "How To" Read Your OBD Codes-- Click Here for my personal page to download my OBD code list as an Excel file, plus other Cadillac data -- See my CaddyInfo car blogs: 2011 CTS-V, 1997 ETC Yes, I was Jims_97_ETC before I changed cars.

Thank you Dorothy Dorothy, I cant help but wonder just how much the dealer wanted for a new set of wiperblades? 2001 Deville, Sterling Silver exterior with Dark Gray leather, 93k miles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have always considered myself a good tipper, but never thought about tipping this person! Is this something common that others of you do? 2001 Deville, Sterling Silver exterior with Dark Gray leather, 93k miles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have always considered myself a good tipper, but never thought about tipping this person! Is this something common that others of you do? Not usually... But a couple of years ago, I did give a girl at a auto parts place in N. Carolina $10.00. The wipers were chattering on my DTS, that at the time was only a year old. I stopped to get new blades and they didn't have them. (car was too new) She took some cleaning stuff (she used several different kinds) and cleaned the windshield REAL GOOD to get the film off of it. She went way above and beyond the usual service to fix my problem. It was worth it not to have to listen to the noise of the wiper blades. Plus...She deserved it for the great service she rendered to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
